As part of a wider £1.4m investment in stroke services, the gym has been funded by the Fred and Ann Green Legacy, alongside support from DBTH Charity.

It will feature £700,000k robotic rehabilitation devices that will serve as ‘therapy multipliers,' enabling patients to engage in highly focused, intensive therapy sessions under the guidance of expert clinicians.

The state-of-the-art equipment will include a robotic gait trainer and other robotics which targets upper and lower limb mobility and balance, and interactive tools to enhance cognitive and motor skills.

Dr Peter Anderton, consultant for the Stroke Rehabilitation Service, said: ‘These devices significantly increase the intensity and frequency of rehabilitation opportunities for our patients.

‘By combining pioneering technology with the expertise of our clinical teams, we aim to deliver a world-class rehabilitation service that maximises recovery potential for our patients.'
